As much as I've said to many people that this module seems managable, but often I find that this module has gone beyond my grasp of it's logic and direction and has become so abstract that I have no idea where or what the hell I'm doing or studying about. There is never one clear cut definition of some terms, all we have are vague explanations of how it came about, how people view it as. Sometimes I even fail to see the relation nor the significance of the readings to some of the material taught in lectures. (I mean those that are assigned to the content that the lecture taught about for a certain week)

Somehow it seems that my classmates are getting a pretty good grip on what's going on. I mean I can understand it on the basic level, but if you ask me to make inferences, evaluations I don't think I can do it easily (I can do some, but not a lot). Maybe I'm not a really a deep person, I simply accept what I see.

This is my true honest opinion on this module: They should just cut the excessive wordings in the readings and just extract those essential sentences. In my opinion, just reading those few sentences are enough to grasp the basic concepts but somehow some part of me just feels that I miss out a hell lot of information. Well, maybe that's why they are called "readings". In some way, I think the issue of "culture" and "industries" is so huge that it's impossible to cover everything, which is also what the lecturer said. It's so big that I'm only clawing at the surface, maybe that's why I feel that I'm inadequately prepared for this module's exam.

*shrugs* Hope I can get a decent grade.
